Where have I stopped off this week?

Answers by next Sunday (14th June) at 20:00 or you would of missed the train.

Whilst I didn't used to live TOO near this station, I did use it for a while as part of my route home from work. I had several routes home and I used to switch between them to make it interesting.

I used to use it on my way to work, but not on the way home.

I use it to go to work whenever I'm lost.

Edit: having looked at the photo, I've just realised I was researching this station earlier for a quiz down the line! Now if only I can remember which one it was...

I would use this station on my way to work if it was on my way to work but it isn't so I don't.

If I worked at this station, I would use it on the way to work. Unless I used an alternative route to make things interesting, which would involve walking 150 miles.

I have had a guess but almost certain it is wrong......

My mate worked near this station once.

This was obviously too easy for you lot! I have stopped off at West Hampstead NLL.

I used to use it on my way to work, but not on the way home.

It was a fun, civilised and quiet way of getting from Feltham to Euston Square to go non-stop to West Hampstead on the (now defunct) Basingstoke-Colchester train and change onto the Met at Finchley Road. However, there was no suitable train back in the evening.

What a bizarre route! You might just as well timetable a train from Slough to Purfleet ... why would anyone want such a train?

The idea of London Crosslink was to create a kind of north-east to south-west Thameslink clone, with the selling point being "avoiding central London"; plus Feltham was envisaged as a gateway to Heathrow. Anglia Railways persuaded the Strategic Rail Authority to support the service financially. In practice, there was only a train every couple of hours or so, public awareness was low, and they had to crawl round the North London Line while usually only stopping at West Hampstead, Highbury and Islington, and Stratford. I actually used the service a number of times, but not many others did and it ended after a couple of years.
